Professional journalists go by the rule of 2 confirmations before going to print or air, Bonner did neither from what I have seen. It would be too easy to call for a comment or confirmation. What Bonner did, chasing a unconfirmed source or rumor is called Yellow Journalism. The Clarion Ledger is backing the story, because they have no choice, they put it out there. Sam Hall has no choice but to take action against the reporter and the editor who allowed a false story to be printed.

Keenum should threaten the Cl with pulling credentials. It worked for Mississippi, they get softball treatment and it cost Riley Blevins his job.
